We will stay up assuming 50 points is enough

[Gordon the Gopher]

Brighton v Southend, Draw

Brighton v Yeovil, Win

Walsall v Brighton Win

Scunthorpe v Brighton Lose

Brighton v Tranmere Draw

MK Dons v Brighton Lose

Hereford v Brighton, Win

Brighton v Swindon Win

Colchester v Brighton Draw

Brighton v Oldham Win

Huddersfield v Brighton, Lose

Brighton v Stockport Win


If 50 isn't enough then we'll need a couple of other points from somewhere.

Do any teams around us look likley to go into administration?? (barring Cheltenham)

I find it hard to believe our home form will be this:

DWDWWW

Considering previous it's looked like this:

I would be more confident of us beating scunthorpe/mk dons away rather than Oldham/Yeovil at home.

Agree, seeing we have only won three at home for the the first 2/3rds of the season, I can't imagine four wins in the final quarter !

game missing against rovers - draw ?

 

[Djmiles]

So you think we'll win 6 of our last 13 games, despite only winning 7 of our previous 33?

 

[forumwayseagull]

True,

but I feel much more optomistic that wih a fresh manager and players to cover the injuries we will get out of it.........

The simple answer is that if we don't turn our home form around we are doomed. I am assuming that a new manager who actually looks interested at home games and actually has a bit of tactical nous can turn it around, hence my blind optimism!

I hope you're right but I'm not getting my hopes up! The next 2 homes games (both winnable) will decide our season I reckon. If we can't beat Southend or Yeovil at home, who can we beat?

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

This week is crucial. We have two home games and most of our rivals have two away games. We need to win a majority of home matches between now and the end of the season to stand any chance and the crowd needs to play its part.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I think 5 wins and 2 maybe 3 draws will keep us up. It may be worth going to MK Dons and oldham with a 4 5 1 formation just to pick up a point.

Don't those results take us to 53 points?

 

[SeagullEd]

Realistically, we're going to loose some gays we should be looking to win, and win some we shouldn't really be winning.

I do think there's enough games left to stay up though, definitly.

There's every chance of some improvement at home. I think MA had a problem at "The" Withdean from his previous time. He was continually winging about it as if DK had told him we were playing at the Emirates and then brought him to Kenilworth Road instead. Pitch, changing rooms , whatever. A manager deals with those things and does not allow them to become an excuse for failure- not publicly anyway.

Eventually it became a fortress, thanks to a certain goal machine scoring more han we conceded. If the manager has a problem in his own head about conditions at Withdean, it will communicate itself to the players.

Having managed at lower level, RS is much less likely to be fazed by the Withdean situation- he was genuinely struck by the quality of our away following at Brisbane Road. Who knows, a couple of jammy home wins and we could have a noisy 7k back at Withdean for some vital end of season 6 pointers!

What are the odds on Gannon's Stockport relegating us now?
